31 Days of Halloween - Day 13

Hello everyone, welcome to my contribution to the Smeared Ink 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you're playing along, then you’ve arrived from Sarah’s blog - but you can find the blog roll over there on the right.I'm simul-blogging with my un-evil twin over on Tuppence Coloured today, because it's the day I share a video tutorial. Today I've been making these coffin boxes - they're a variation of the self-closing box that's been so popular lately.

Here are the measurements -

Here's the video - (with a personal appearance from Mysti the cat at the end!)

So now, on to Lisa F’s blog to continue the hop - and I'll see you tomorrow!

LOVE that box! Thanks so much for the template and fab video. That wood grain stamp is amazing. I thought you'd started with DP. Thanks for all the tips, too. I did notice that there might be an error on the template. The last measurement along the bottom, I think, should be 5 1/4", rather than 4 1/4". That's what you said in the video, and I think it would be consistent with the other side. xxD

I love your video and your kitty..with you gentle voice how could she take any no or bad kitty serious? really hun..nope doubt it. Thank you for the fabulous share and tutorial and I subscribed!hugs and Happy 13

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! Claire Perkins to answer your question - I measured about 3/4 of an inch in from the edge on either side. Donna Mundinger - you're right, thank you! I'll correct the diagram! xxx Keren

I made some of these coffin boxes a few years ago.I think I had to trace them out and then cut them.Must have been before the cutting machines became so popular.the boxes are always a hit with the recipients.thanks for sharing.
